Hi, Yesterday I posted about replacing the graphical login available with SUSE 5.3 (i.e xdm or kdm) with the Login.app from Per Liden with a custom image from Largo's page ( <A HREF="http://wm.current.nu/misc.html"><A HREF="http://wm.current.nu/misc.html</A">http://wm.current.nu/misc.html</A</A>> ). It is working ok now, if you are interested, here is the roadmap: + download the sources from: <A HREF="http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/"><A HREF="http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/</A">http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/</A</A>> instructions about using a custom image are on Largo's page ( see link above). + build them ( read Per Instructions they are very simple) + Do you use glibc (libc6) Y/n I answered no + Do you use shadow password Y/n I answered yes because I found an/etc/shadow file and I have a star in the passwd position in the /etc/passwd. + to build you just have to type 'build' + then do 'make install'. you have to modify my /etc/inittab et initdefault level to 3 at the beginning of the file, then farther in the file /etc/inittab you will find a section like this # getty-programs for the normal runlevels # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). 1:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 Add this line x:3:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/Login.app >& /dev/null In the /etc/rc.config a line ( which can be accessed from YAST) which gives you the choice for login console/xdm/kdm, put console). Be sure then and it's the last step that you have a valid ~/.xinitrc then it's Ok :) you are ready to reboot !!
